Abstract: Compound of the formula ##STR1## where R is CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.m, A and B are hydrogen, a bond or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n,X is ##STR2## m is 0, 1 , 2 or 3, n is 1 , 2, or 3, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, andY is --OH, --OR.sub.2 or --NR.sub.3 R.sub.4where R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl and aralkyl substituents.

Abstract: Disclosed are bi-4-[1-(quinazolinyl-4)piperidyls] and bis{4-[1-(quinazolinyl-4)piperidyl]alkanes}, e.g. 1,3-bis{4-[1-(6,7-dimethylquinazolinyl-4)piperidyl]propane}, having pharmacological activity in animals and useful for example, as anti-obesity and anti-diabetic agents. Said compounds may be prepared by reacting a 4-haloquinazoline with bi-4-piperidyl or a bis(piperidyl-4)alkane.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of the class of isoquinolines substituted at the 1-position by an amino function bearing a hydroxy-alkyl nitrate moiety, e.g., 1-(5-hydroxypentyl)-amino-6,7-methylene-dioxyisoquinoline nitrate. The compounds have various pharmacological activities in animals and are useful, for example, as anti-hypertensive agents, anti-anginal agents and in the treatment of shock. Also disclosed are the corresponding hydroxy intermediates which are useful in preparation of the nitrates and also as hypotensive agents or as agents in the treatment of shock.

Abstract: Disclosed are N,N'-Bis(4-Quinazolinyl)alkanediamines, e.g., N,N'-Bis(7-chloro-4-quinazolinyl)-1,9-nonanediamine, having pharmacological activity in animals and useful for example, as anti-obesity agents. Said compounds may be prepared by reacting a 4-haloquinazoline with an alkanediamine.
